Losing_It150

3rd week on liquids....almost 1 week post op and I'm thinking and wonder what will I be able to eat when I can eat again. I'm over liquids....I want something solid....or at least soft!

Ugh Cosmo.....don't tell us that! Dang!

It annoys me that my post was taken as I am concerned about pigging out or that my family time consists of pigging out. I would think it's only human to think about eating after you haven't in almost 3 weeks.....just bc I want to eat something it doesn't mean I want a whole pizza or something terrible. I just want something with some consistency and I am tired of room temp crap. I decided to do this for myself and my family....don't we all?? I mean I appreciate the positive points but also I am quite aware of the obvious reasons......just had to get that off of my chest. As for all of the helpful replies, thank you so much!!! :-) I can't wait to try some new shake ideas!

13 lbs since pre-op.....Thur will be 1 week post op and I am pretty happy about that! The scale and my family are helping pull me through the "liquid hell" right now..... I hope everyone has a fabulous day!

Oh yeah, I've been hitting the scale every day LOL it does help a bit.

I def need a good variety of flavors. I'm having a hard time finding good shakes with decent protein that I can drink barely cold. Also, should I be drinking the whole thing at a serving or a little bit at a time? Might be dumb but if I drink too much I get that pain in my tummy and shoulder.

I feel.so upset tonight bc my daughters 5th birthday party is this weekend, they will have pizza and cake and I feel sad bc I can't have at least a piece of each....probably silly but I guess the void is getting to me. Hopefully it passes soon!

I know, I want to heal...that's what's most important. I think what's hard right now is the not hot or cold.thing. shakes taste like crap at room temp.....

I'm day 6 and hurting....came back to work today and wishing I hadn't. I am trying my best to tough it out til 5 so I don't have to leave early and get in trouble.

Yep, my thoughts on this post are just the thought of the pain or problems it would cause would be far enough to keep me away from such things. I am not trying to hurt myself or cause misery. No thanks!

AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I'm at work today and the itching is DRIVING ME INSANE! I called my Dr office and I cannot put anything on it.......

Haha hope everyone slept well last night! I'm going back to work today and just thinking about it is giving me a panic attack. I didn't sleep well and I hate going hack to work after being out....on top of everything else.....ugh....

Congrats Golfer! Oh yeah...something about that approval gets your nerves going....we all worried!

Bab, I am right there with you....I will be 1 full week as of Thursday.....I keep hearing it gets better! Just hang on!

Per my post op.instructions I cannot have anything too hot or cold bc it can cause spasms or gas. I feel like I'm having a hard time getting my nutrition in on Clear liquids and shakes. Protein Shakes are disgusting at room temp..... Also, I have one week clear liquids (surg Sept 8th) week 2 full liquids....my follow up with the surgeon is Friday so do I start full on my own Thursday or wait to talk to.him Friday? This transitional period sucks....

Ok, I wondered when "bandster hell" will hit...I will.proceed with caution and fear of eating anything that's not allowed!

Thanks Baileyrose! I was pretty worried about my body going into starvation mode. :-)

Hey, so I'm less than a week post op....when does the swelling go down and when are you able.to eat like you did before? I'm very curious bc still being newly banded I feel like I can't get much down...shakes and all.

Thank you. I'm just concerned bc I'm not getting the calories I need.

I wish I could burp more!

I just had surgery Thursday 9/8. Does the feeling of always needing to burp but you can't ever go away?? It's just pressure and I wonder if its just my stomach adjusting or how it will always be?? Thanks!

Thank you ladies! :-)
